Mangaluru, Apr 10: Some television channels are telecasting that the city is under 'Seal Down'. This is completely baseless. There is no step taken as such to seal down the city. This was clarified by the district administration.

Lockdown is in progress in the city since many days. Only the same is being strictly implemented now. The district administration has requested the respective TV channels to confirm with the respective authorities before telecasting such sensitive news.

This kind of fake propaganda creates more panic and chaos among the public. The district administration has also requested the media to cooperate and convey the message to the public.

The 21-day lockdown that was imposed throughout the nation on March 24 is set to end on April 14. Speculations about the extension have made the most noise in the week. There is also talks about a ‘seal down.’ A seal down is a lockdown with stricter rules.
